Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Cincinnati Zoo News 2017

Few changes... so far

In Wings of the World, a Helmeted Curassow is now in the outdoor cage. The Wetlands exhibit is now empty with the exception of the everlasting cooter. The pygmy falcons have been moved to the largest dark tank - removing the Gouldian finches and with the former falcon tank still empty.

As for footage, I have videos of Schottzie's bath, and my first look at Kendi, the baby rhino.

 

Has anyone visited Night Hunters recently to know what went in Yala's old exhibit?

 

I'll visit today, rarely do I ever go in Night Hunters anymore.

 

Well I finally have your answer... a Southern Three-banded Armadillo.

 

In the World of the Insect butterfly aviary, the spangled citinga died but 2 new birds are in there. Speckled pigeons, and a Tambourine dove.

 

A three Banded Armadillo?

 

Yes, now they have 2 species in there. I don't mind, I liked how they had 3 in the Nocturnal House. I also noticed that another genet was added, most likely from Jungle Trails.

 

Are you taking about the one in the former tayra exhibit? I saw it last month as well. It was neat to see both species of it.

 

Are you referring to the genet or armadillo exhibit?

 

Sorry the genet exhibit.

 

It is nice to see them, much much better exhibit than the one in jungle trails.

 

When finishing my night hunters video ("post production") I was very close to mentioning that the bat eared foxes could no longer be found in the zoo. Luckily, I passed through the children's Zoo and they are now displayed in the first nursery exhibit, a building now known as the Aninal Ambassador Center.

 

As I was exiting the zoo, I heard an employee asking survey questions to guests discussing the quality of Wildlife Canyon. It would be nice if that was the next area to renovate after Elephant Reserve.

 

Did they announce they were renovating Elephant Reserve? If so it’s much needed and I’m glad to see it renovated.

 

No announcement, just word from the inside (another member)

 

Any update on Henry, Fiona's father?

 

The zoo said he is now in steady health.

 

What a relief. When do they expect him to be back with Bibi and Fiona

 

Could've sworn I saw all 3 of them together on my last visit. Going tomorrow, I'll come back with an answer.

 

No, Henry is not outdoors.
